As the sun dipped below the horizon, the group gathered around a blazing bonfire, the flames dancing in the darkening sky.

Leonardo, sensing the excitement in the air, had thought ahead, ensuring the ingredients for the dinner were abundant. But he went further, acquiring a selection of exquisite wines to heighten the evening’s festivities.

He carefully infused a touch of reiki into the wine, enough to prevent anyone from growing tired, all without leaving a trace, ensuring their enjoyment and secrecy.

The south’s high plateau setting brought a sudden chill as the night descended, but the warmth of the fire and the spirits within sustained the group’s comfort. Hector, master of the guitar, and some spirited young singers filled the night with music. Maria, finding herself easily a part of this lively atmosphere, felt truly relaxed for the first time in a long while.

As toasts flowed and laughter echoed, one young man remarked, “This wine tonight is something else, not like any I’ve had before. I usually drink much more, but I’m feeling so alive!”

Another joined in, “I’m a bit dizzy, but I don’t feel a hint of being drunk.”

“Absolutely comfortable!” someone chimed in, looking at Paul. “Bobby, did you bring a rare vintage? It’s different, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”

Leonardo, with a smile, shared, “The difference you feel is in the atmosphere, my friends. The more vibrant, the more your capacity to enjoy the wine.”

Hector added, “Bobby’s got a point. Your ability to handle alcohol depends on factors like your tolerance, consumption, and surroundings. When we’re gathered like this, full of energy and good spirits, the alcohol goes down smoother.”
